Does the Grey Album from Danger Mouse count if it was never officially released? I have to admit I've spent the last several years looking back musically instead of what was out at the time. Two of my favorites that are good start to finish are Death Magnetic and The Black Album.

Now if you said '90s, I'd have plenty. But here are a few:Mock Orange - Mind Is Not BrainRobert Plant/Alison Kraus - Raising SandGary Jules - Trading Snakeoil for Wolf Tickets(in a pinch) Radiohead - In Rainbows

I'll second Howie Day - "Australia," Raphael Saadiq - "The Way I See It," Ray LaMontagne - "Trouble," Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere. And "The Grey Album" has to count.

Off the top of my head, you need Ben Kweller (probably "Sha Sha," but others work, too) and Ben Harper ("Diamonds On the Inside"). Jack Johnson is a bit played out now, but "Brushfire Fairytales" was strong. I spent the early part of the decade hanging out with a good deal of punk music and, because of that, will include a vote for Thursday - "Full Collapse."

The Roots ... can they just have a section to themselves? It's probably not fair to most other musicians and groups. "Things Fall Apart" misses by a year (and so does the live album), but "Phrenology" and "The Tipping Point" represent the pinnacle of a ridiculous career.
